>The court’s ruling could have ripple effects across the federal government, where agencies frequently use highly trained experts to interpret and implement federal laws.
I'm pretty skeptical that this is true. Who is training them? Training them in what? Reading laws and navigating bureaucracy?

>Kagan cited as one example a hypothetical bill to regulate artificial intelligence. Congress, she said, “knows there are going to be gaps because Congress can hardly see a week in the future.” So it would want people “who actually know about AI and are accountable to the political process to make decisions” about artificial intelligence. Courts, she emphasized, “don’t even know what the questions are about AI,” much less the answers.
I'm not following why Kagan thinks this hypothetical helps her point. People who know about AI and are accountable to the political process are not bureaucrats in the federal agencies just as much as they are not the courts. I'll wait for the audio/transcript to come out because hopefully this is a misrepresentation of her question.
